We live in a rural area of a very small town, and I hired a real ice cream truck to come out to the party.  These kids had never even seen an ice cream truck, and it was really neat to see their reactions.  Even the parents wanted ice cream. There is nothing like hearing the music and scambling around to find enough change to buy ice cream as a kid.  You could even award winners from party games certificates for free ice cream when the truck comes. I hope ya'll appreciate these ideas, as they can be incorporated into any theme, any time of day, or any day of the week.
